Composing is part if the mainstream music curriculum for many
children yet children's music does not receive the same attention
as their art or creative writing. Children Composing 4-14 traces
the ways in which composing can be organised and taught within the
school music curriculum, drawing on children's own music-making
activities. This practical book looks at how teaching composing can
enable hildren to progress by acquiring musical skills and
understanding, whilst developing their own sense of musical
purpose. One of the main concern's of the book is the need to
sustain continuity and quality in children's composing experience
as they mover through each phase of music education. Children's
Composing is considered in relation to the wider musical context in
which they grow up, including cultural differences in composing
roles and in perceptions of composing and composers. Projects that
bring children into contact with professional composers are
critically examined, and suggestions are made for ways of ensuring
that composing in schools is rooted in the musical world outside.
